Changing the properties of a .lnk shortcut?

[arielCo]

In Wine, .desktop shortcuts actually invoke `start.exe /Unix /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/..../myapp.lnk´.

Besides copying the file to a Windows machine, how do I modify said `.lnk´ shortcuts (e.g., to change the shortcut's target or working directory) once created? Running `wine explorer.exe´, and right-clicking > Properties on the .lnk does nothing.

Best regards!

You don't. Make those changes to the .desktop file via your menu editor. You can also change the desktop link to point to the executable rather than the .lnk file. If you really need to change something in the .lnk file's properties (such as permissions) do it through a native file manager.

Just what I thought. There is some info on the format at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd871305.aspx, but methinks there are more important things right now. Thanks for confirming!
